Ballad of My Past Life (Change pt. II) Lyrics by Jazz July

Where the Valley Meets the Mountains

2018

[Verse 1]
It's not the game that we want to be playing
Look to the sky, fake a smile till you make it
Quiet's the ghost hiding out in the basement
Skeleton closets and unhappy faces, oh
I think it's time that I go home
Nobody cares that I'm happy alone, though
Pleasure the masses and cry in the mattress
This time it's behind us and burned in the ashes
I'm burning the ashes
[Chorus]
This is the ballad of my past life
In loving memory of my right mind
I'm losing traction on landslide now
The grass is greener on the flip side
So sing the ballad of my past life
In loving memory of my right mind
I'm losing traction on a land slide
The grass is greener on the flip side
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
So much in love we can hardly contain it
Covering up in our separate blankets
Open the blind to a window of pavement
It's not the mess, no, it's more how I made it
I think it's time that I let go
No sense in feeling like I'm in control, no
Trying to find closure and keep my composure
Just trying to be happy one way or another
[Chorus]
This is the ballad of my past life
In loving memory of my right mind
I'm losing traction on landslide now
The grass is greener on the flip side
So sing the ballad of my past life
In loving memory of my right mind
I'm losing traction on a land slide
The grass is greener on the flip side
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Bridge]
Maybe it's my fault that I'm this way
Maybe I'm the one that's making waves
Maybe I just got carried away
Maybe I still get carried away
Maybe I'm not who I claim to be
And all of my missteps are really me
Time to make the most of the debris
This is the ballad of my past life
In loving memory of my right mind
I'm losing traction for the last time
Done making mountains out of landminds
Why do I always go
Always go
Always go to such great lengths before I fall
Before I fall
Before I, oh
Before I go
Before I go
[Chorus]
This is the ballad of my past life
In loving memory of my right mind
I'm losing traction on landslide now
The grass is greener on the flip side
So sing the ballad of my past life
In loving memory of my right mind
I'm losing traction for the last time
The grass is greener when you're not on my mind
Not on my mind
